LA Lakers’ season has just gone from bad to worse. The Lakers lost their fourth consecutive match against LA Clippers by a big margin of 132-111 on Thursday night. In fact, the Lakers lost their second match against the Clippers in the last four matches. Lakers now have a 27-35 record as their horrid run in the season continues.
Meanwhile, it was one-way traffic, especially in the third quarter of the game. Clippers scored 40 points whereas the Lakers could only manage 18 points. It was even-steven in the other three quarters and there is no doubt that the third quarter was the turning point of the game.
Reggie Jackson scored 36 points for the Clippers and 12 of his points came in the final 12 minutes.
LA Lakers head coach Frank Vogel stated that they will leave no stone unturned to get this right and get back to winning ways.
“We’re just persistent and staying with the work,” Lakers coach Frank Vogel said. “We’ll leave no stone unturned to get this right, but it hasn’t come together for us. We’ll continue to try to find ways to win with Anthony (Davis) out. It’s not something we can’t do, but we haven’t found it yet.”
On the other hand, LeBron James once again top-scored for the Lakers as he dropped 26 points along with eight dimes. King James shot 8/18 from the field but he believes they were blown away in the third quarter.
“We’ve had one quarter that’s killed us,” James said. “It’s been the second quarter. Today it was the third quarter.”
Lakers have managed only three wins in their last 14 matches and it is definitely a matter of concern for Frank Vogel and LeBron James.
LA Lakers will next face Golden State Warriors on Saturday.
